High '''body strength''' allows you to carry or [[drag]] heavier loads. It also increases [[damage]] in combat and on [[wall]]s or [[fence]]s, and reduces the amount of damage taken by your character.

 == Limits ==* You need 20Body Strength to destroy pavement.5 body * You need 20.10 Body Strength to dig on roads.* You need 21 Body Strength to level near roads.* You need 21 Body Strength to haul.* You need 21 Body Strength to destroy fences, walls, or buildings.* You need 21 Body Strength to remove a mine door.* You need a 23.0 strength to load items into carts, wagons and [[soul strength]] boats. == Damage Reduction == Body Strength helps to reduce the damage a character takes, with the exact formula varying between PvE and PvP. * '''PVE''': Final Damage = Damage * (120 - Strength)/100** In other words, a character gets damage reduced by 1% per point of Body Strength.* '''PVP''': Final Damage = Damage * (1 - (0.15 * ln(Strength*0.8 - 15))), with Body Strength lower than 20 treated as if it is required 20.** In other words, the first few points of Body Strength above 20 give very strong increases to attack players on the [[home server]]damage resistance, but each point gives far less additional damage resistance as Body Strength rises.

For example the key values for Examples: {| class="wikitable"! Strength !! 3/4 !! 1/4 !! 1/20 !! Max|-|| 20 || 40kg || 70kg || 140kg || 140kg|-|| 25.62 strength would be 50 || 50kg || 87.5kg || 175kg || 179.34kg|-|}  Note: A leg [[kgwound]], 87.5 kg and 175 kg, and can lower your effective body strength until the maximum possible load would be 179.34 kgwound has healed. 

The maximum weight a character you can drag is limited by your body strength, it's generously much though.  Maximum weight you can drag = ((Body strength * 7 - Weight you're carrying) * 10 To determine how much cargo you can drag in a small cart for example, you must simply subtract the weight of the small cart.  Maximum cargo = (Body Strength strength * 7) - (Amount of weight Weight you're carrying)) * 10- 60 (Cart weight) - Weight of cart  The weight you're carrying is anything you're carrying in your [[inventory]] and anything you're [[wearing]] or shipequipping on your body. If To determine how much weight you can carry to drag more than this valuea specific weight, you will stop dragging can use the cart or ship as soon as following formula.  Maximum carrying = Body strength * 7 - Weight you move.want to drag / 10

To determine how much body strength you need to drag a specific amount of weight you can use the following formulas as applicable.  Body strength required = (Total weight / 10 + Weight you're carrying) / 7  With an empty inventory: Body strength required = Total weight / 70 (Didn't think it was that easy now huh?) Body strength required = (Cargo weight + Cart weight) / 10 / 7 (See the resemblance?) For example, someone with 21 body strength carrying 20kg of tools could drag a small cart, which weighs weights 60kg, filled with up to (14721BS * 7 -2020kg)*10-6060kg =1210kg, which is 80 bricks[[stone brick]]s. Remember the operator precedence rules! If you want to drag 1235kg with your 22.90 body strength, you could carry 36.80kg = 22.90BS * 7 - 1235kg / 10 additional weight on your body and inventory. Here's a small table of required minimum body strength for draggable items without any cargo.
